"The purpose of Community Unity is to promote unity in diversity by encouraging understanding between people who are different from one another."
      The intention of Community Unity is not to advocate, but to educate. When we haven't met people who believe and behave differently than we do, when we haven't looked into their faces and listened to them tell their stories, it is sometimes easy for us to judge many by what we have heard about a few. Lack of information and communication can lead us to speak and behave in ways that are damaging to others, that are contrary to the spirit of our own values, and that reflect badly on ourselves.

      We hope, through presenting information, to encourage meaningful dialog, lessen division, clear away misunderstanding, counter-act stereotyping, and open hearts.

      Click here to read the resolution with which we began. It advocates nothing but respect for basic human dignity and peaceful resolution of conflicts.
